Syrian suspect confesses to knife attack in Germany

A 26-year-old Syrian man is in custody in Germany after a knife attack in Solingen that killed three people and injured eight others. Authorities are investigating his possible links to the Islamic State (IS). The attack occurred during a festival celebrating Solingen’s 650-year history. The suspect, identified as Issa Al H., admitted to the crime and is believed to have acted based on radical Islamist beliefs, targeting people he considered non-believers. The IS claimed responsibility for the attack, calling the suspect a “soldier” of the group. The incident has sparked political calls for stricter security, weapon controls, and limits on immigration.
